Dr. Percival contends that the complex medieval notion of Woman informs the structure of the poem: in the Prologue Chaucer praises conventional ideas of female virtue, while in the Legends he demonstrates a humorous skepticism, apparently influenced by a contemporary antifeminist tradition. This is a comprehensive account of the Legend's interpretative puzzles, which does not ignore the element of political writing and adds to a close and nuanced reading of the text an examination of literary, historical and social contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51940127572256,"sku":"NEW0521020824","price":56.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/chaucers-legendary-good-women-cambridge-studies-in-medieval-literature-series-number-38-0521020824","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
